PhD level courses for PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine comprise compulsory courses (as part of the Research School) and elective courses. Each year a number of elective PhD level courses are advertised and open to all admitted PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine. These courses are led by teachers and researchers at the faculty. Each year it is possible to suggest elective PhD level cour

Genetics, epigenetics and environment may together affect the susceptibility for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our aim was to dissect molecular mechanisms underlying T2D using genome-wide expression and DNA methylation data in adipose tissue from monozygotic twin pairs discordant for T2D and independent case-control cohorts. In adipose tissue from discordant twins, we found decreased expression of genes

År 2009 reformerades det administrativa förfarandet för tillståndsprövningar av vindkraftverk, delvis för att en större vindkraftsutbyggnad skulle komma till stånd men också som nödvändig en åtgärd för att Sverige skulle uppfylla sina skyldigheter i 2009 års förnybarhetsdirektiv. Tidigare hade en ansökning om att få bygga vindkraft inneburit dubbla process- och tillståndsförfaranden enligt både Pl

Ensuring high vaccination coverage is vital, particularly during a pandemic. While pre-booked appointment letters have shown promise in vaccination campaigns, their effectiveness in specific sociodemographic groups remains to be explored. Our study evaluated the effect of pre-booked appointment letters on COVID-19 vaccine uptake within different sociodemographic groups using a quasi-experimental m

Människan och hampan (Cannabis sativa) har en gemensam historia som går långt bak i tiden, denna historia är dock omgiven av kontroverser. Idag är Cannabis mest känt för sina psykoaktiva egenskaper och narkotika klassificering i många länder, men hampa har historiskt sett främst odlats för fiberproduktion. Denna studie undersöker historisk hampaodling i Europa och är baserad på redan publicerade dHumans and hemp (Cannabis sativa) have an ancient relationship, dating back to the beginning of recorded history. Nevertheless, controversy surrounds the antiquity of the plant. Today Cannabis is probably most famous for its psychoactive properties and illicit status in numerous countries, however hemp has primarily been cultivated as a fibre crop in the past. This study examines the European hist

To meet the ever increasing demand for computational speed and use of ever larger datasets, multi GPU installations look very tempting. Lunarc and the Theoretical Astrophysics group at Lund Observatory collaborate on a pilot project to evaluate and utilize multi-GPU architectures for scientific calculations. Starting with a small workshop in 2009, continued investigations eventually lead to the pr

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of migratory takeoff behavior is the essential first step for long-distance migration of insects. However, its characteristics, frequency of occurrence, and the identity of environmental and physiological factors influencing this process remain largely unknown. RESULTS: We investigate the global pest fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) as an exemplar species to in

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening condition with no cure, making research into its underlying mechanisms critical. The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in vascular remodeling, a key factor in PAH progression. Anti-PDGF receptor therapies, such as imatinib, show promise but are associated with significant side effects. Recent res

Background: Cardiovascular risk factor control reduces the risk of recurrent events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Long-term post-ACS management is poorly studied. Objectives: To assess frequency of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) monitoring and target achievement during 3 years post-ACS. Methods: Data from all patients hospitalized for ACS in Up

β-Ga2O3 (β-gallium oxide) is an ultra-wide band gap semiconductor material that has attracted significant interest for next-generation high-efficiency and high-power electronic devices. This thesis focuses on the optimisation of the growth of gallium oxide thin films on 1.0 cm x 1.0 cm silicon carbide (4H-SiC) using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). A growth matrix in substrate temperature and oxyge

hEP4-R (human prostaglandin E2 receptor, subtype EP4) is a Gs-linked heterotrimeric GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor). It undergoes agonist-induced desensitization and internalization that depend on the presence of its C-terminal domain. Desensitization and internalization of GPCRs are often linked to agonist-induced b-arrestin complex formation, which is stabilized by phosphorylation. Subsequentl

The way the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber is one of the most important parameters for the power output and the generation of emissions in the combustion of liquid fuels. The interaction beween the turbulent gas flow field and the liquid fuel droplets, the vaporisation of them and the mixing of the gaseous fuel with the ambient air that are vital parameters in the combustion proces

How does the brain transform the 2-D light arrays in our eyes into a meaningful 3-D description of surfaces around us? What assumptions does the visual system make about the world when information is incomplete? And how are these assumptions computationally expressed in this perceptual reconstruction process? These questions, and other aspects of binocular depth perception are analysed from a theo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling innehåller fem essäer behandlande ett antal olika frågor inom området empirisk finansiell ekonomi. Genom användandet av kvantitativa metoder är syftet att studera praktiskt relevanta problem relaterade till hur finansiella marknader fungerar. Frågorna som tas upp sträcker sig från optionsprissättning och terminshedgning, över stokastisk volatilitets modThis thesis consists of five empirical essays dealing with different issues related to financial markets. Chapter 2 studies a new multivariate technique, Orthogonal GARCH, of forecasting large covariance matrices based on GARCH models. Orthogonal GARCH is built on principal component analysis and makes the creation of positive definite covariance matrices of arbitrary size possible. An important d

This paper includes species investigated through many years starting with original material from museum collections. A great number of species in the genera Stephanodiscus Ehrenberg, Cyclostephanos Round and Cyclotella (Kutzing) Brebisson, all in the family Stephanodiscaceae Makarova, are presented with holo-, lecto- and/or neotypes, type locality and information concerning nomenclature. A typus g

Nucleotide metabolism and replication of nucleic acids are processes of fundamental importance. A crucial enzyme in nucleotide metabolism is dUTPase (E.C. 3.6.1.23), that catalyses the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate. The activity of the enzyme has influence on the outcome of DNA replication and complete loss of enzyme activity is lethal, while a decreased activity promotes increased

Traditional high level synthesis is able to yield high computational resource utilisation and short critical paths. The shortcomings of the generated designs usually lies in the memory architecture. To achieve good performance on a FPGA, the data must reside in the fast on-chip memories, but these are commonly too small for the data being processed. Traditional high level synthesis cannot cope wit

In the present study, the heat transfer characteristics on the suction and pressure sides of an outlet guide vane (OGV) are investigated by using liquid crystal thermography (LCT) method in a linear cascade. Because the OGV has a complex curved surface, it is necessary to calibrate the LCT by taking into account the effect of viewing angles of the camera. Based on the calibration results, heat tra
